By using NYTimes.com and NYTimes products, you are agreeing to our Terms of Service.

1. GENERAL TERMS OF SALE

1.1. Definitions

The term "digital product" refers to paid digital products available from NYTimes, including both NYTimes digital subscriptions and one-time purchases.

1.2. About Digital Products

You are not required to purchase anything for certain limited use of NYTimes.com or the NYTimes apps. However, if you do not purchase a subscription or product, your access to NYTimes content and services will be limited.

You can review the various NYTimes digital subscriptions here. We also offer other products and services, such as crosswords, gift subscriptions, e-books and articles from our archive. The purchase of a gift subscription is a one-time purchase; for more information, see the Gift Subscriptions FAQ.

The New York Times reserves the right to modify the content, type and availability of any digital product at any time.

Only one person may use the user name and password associated with a digital product account.

When you purchase a digital product, the price will be made clear during the order process. You agree to pay the price that is stated at the time of your order, as well as any applicable taxes. You also agree to the billing frequency stated at the time of your order.

Discount eligibility is determined at the time of the order. Discounts cannot be applied retroactively.

All prices are in United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated.

The New York Times reserves the right to change prices and fees at any time. We will notify you in advance if the regular rate of a product changes from what was stated at the time of your order. You will have the opportunity to accept the new price or cancel your subscription or purchase from that point forward.

Applicable taxes may vary. We are not able to notify you in advance of changes in applicable taxes.

If a stated price is determined by us in our sole discretion to be in error, we are not under any obligation to offer you the product at that price. We will notify you of the error and give you the opportunity to cancel your order and obtain a refund if payment has already been made.

Additional Costs

Your subscription may not include access to all areas of the digital product, and you may have to pay additional fees for full access. These additional charges will be clearly stated.

When you use your digital product, you may incur other additional charges from third party service providers, such as telecommunications fees, data fees or service provider fees. You are responsible for paying any additional charges.

We will charge or debit your payment method at the beginning of your subscription or, if applicable, at the end of your free trial period. Billing will continue according to the cycle stated at the time of your order.

All NYTimes digital subscriptions are renewed automatically. When we renew your subscription, we will use the payment method currently associated with your account. If you redeem a gift subscription and choose to extend your subscription at the time of redemption, that subscription will renew automatically. You can view your payment method at any time in the My Account area of NYTimes.com.

In most cases, you will not be notified in advance of impending renewals. Please see our Cancellation and Refund policy below for information about canceling.

1.5.2. Billing of One-Time Purchases

When you make a one-time purchase (for example, a subscription sponsorship or standalone product such as an article from our archives or a gift subscription), we will charge or debit your payment method at the time of purchase.

1.5.3. Currency

The currency in which you will be billed will be stated during the purchase process and is determined based on your billing address.

1.6. Unpaid Charges

If your credit card expires or your payment method is otherwise invalid, your subscription or product will not automatically be terminated. You will remain responsible for all charges.

You will be responsible for all costs we incur in connection with the collection of unpaid amounts, including court costs, attorneys' fees, collection agency fees and any other associated costs.

1.7. Promotions

We may occasionally offer promotions. The specific terms of each promotion are stated at the time the promotion is offered. Each promotion may be different. Promotions cannot be combined.

You are required to provide your payment details when you sign up for a promotion. At the end of the promotion, your subscription will automatically renew at the rates displayed at the time of purchase.

We will not notify you in advance that the promotion is about to end and we will not notify you when your promotional rate has ended. To cancel and avoid being charged, you must notify us before the promotion ends.

1.8. Software Products

If you purchase a digital subscription that includes downloadable software, your download and use of that software may be subject to additional terms or end user license agreements.

1.9. Third Parties

If you have purchased your product through a third party, these Terms of Sale may not apply to you. We are not liable to you for any claims related to purchases made through third parties. Please contact the third party directly.
